"Now that is more like it. Bayern II had not won a match since December of 2024, having started 2025 with 6 straight winless matches."
"I'm happy with the win and the performance," Kimmich stated after the match. "We made a few changes in the second half especially with regards to having more presence in the box."
"Benfica have won their first two games of this Champions League season -- away at Feyenoord and on Wednesday night against Atletico Madrid -- and their star man has been Di Maria. At 36, for his last season in Europe, the Argentina legend is still so influential, more than I expected. His career has been wonderful and if, like me, you thought he was in pre-retirement this year, we were wrong. He is still a star who works hard and makes things happen."
